Dear Sir,

Following multiple rounds of discussions with you, Dy. MD ECHS and MD, ECHS and other officials BPA developed Extension of Stay module for the benefit of the Hospitals and beneficiaries in a Step to further digitization of the system and making it towards completely automate.

The module is designed to give extension in three stages first stage is beyond 12 days and up to 30 days, Second stage is between 31 days to 60 days and Third Stage is 61 days to 120 days for extended stay. The approval of the extension of stay is to be done at different levels and by different officials in the following manner:
